I have ATT Uverse and have access to all ESPN channels on cable including the SEC Network. When I log into ESPN with my ATT account and click on our game it says that I am not authorized to view the content. Is this a problem with the ESPN website or with ATT? Just wondering if anyone has similar issues.

Trying logging out and logging back in. Sometimes it needs to reauthorization it to work

I've got YTTV and I've constantly gotta restart, log out, log in, stand on one foot and say three Hail Marys to get it to work.

That's because ESPN doesn't like you.

I can watch EVERY game shown on SEC+ right now except the A&M game. Says my subscription doesn't''t include it Wth?

And now it works - go figure

That's really weird.

Gremlins, man

Was happening with me earlier too - guessing some ESPN issue

The ESPN app is awful.

I have YouTube TV and had the same problem today but I logged out and back in and yes it reauthorized it I guess because it works now.

I have a Firestick in my living room. Every other app works great. For Espn I have to reboot, login, reset internet etc every time I use it. It's a 10 minute ordeal every time I watch a game.

My outside tv I have the original Apple TV that's like 10 years old. It's works perfect every time. My iPhone works perfect as well.

I think it's a Firestick/ESPN issue on my end.

Not that I desire to compete in the ESPN app experience issues, but we are with a Spectrum Community which means they provide WiFi and in home wired on separate private internet addresses with following experience:

1. It is supposed to automatically authenticate TV Provider when attached to especially WiFi. Sometimes it does but usually doesn't.

2. We aren't real customers of Spectrum since we pay the apartment complex, and we're previously Spectrum customers in their residential offering. Nope…couldn't port that ID in and we are blocked using it.

3. The stand in head corner gymnastics often comes into play when I haven't used a device in a week or so for ESPN. But some of that is definitely authentication with Spectrum causing the issue. I have two userids I sometimes have to try to get it working.

4. Devices are iPhone, iPad, and AppleTv so all Apple but definitely not similar outcomes.

5. Using wired and WiFi is entirely different as well on what will and will not authenticate.

6. In addition the in apartment cable licensing is different than the Spectrum TV app licensing. But luckily so far that has only impacted trying to see Pac-12 offerings which I gave up on due to their awful technology stack.

I definitely believe most of the authentication issues are with the TV Provider not ESPN. At least one…Soectrum…is utterly incompetent.

I have an Android TV and it's the same deal with mine. Constant buffering, reset, force stop, reboot tv, slow as hell.

ESPN+ (SEC+) is a subscription.

ESPN + and SEC+ are not the same thing.

I wanted to watch Rice vs. Texas after our game, and received a prompt, "media not allowed." I am not in the media. All kidding aside, it said that and I know that I'll have to do to the log out, log in, stand on one leg and say three hail Mary's deal.

Do you have LHN? If not you're not going to be able to access streams for that series.

Maybe you should go to confession more often…

The ESPN app is really garbage in terms of the way it handles buffering and cacheing. It is almost as bad as paramount+, and that is saying something.

But on the bright side, at least when it works, we can watch the Ags on days when we can't make it to Olsen. I recall the old days of one mounted camera behind the net above home plate. Even that was welcome at the time!!

It's as if they want to make it as hard as possible to watch.

What am I doing wrong?

I've got ESPN+ and Fubo. Logged into both and that didn't work. Tried a friends Directv login and that didn't work either.

You need the regular ESPN app. It's not on ESPN+.

Off your on a fire stick out laptop, close out of the app, delete cache, restart the device, reset your internet, then log in and try again.

On my laptop, I've found that if I go to the ESPN website and watch through that, it works a hell of a lot better than the app.

I'm trying to watch through Roku on my TV. Used the ESPN app, logged into ESPN and my cable provider.

Decided to just make my own sling account. Looks like I can watch SECN+ directly from that app and I don't have to deal with ESPN. If this works out I'll just cancel Fubo because the only reason I have Fubo is to watch the Astros.

Watching today for the first time this weekend, the volume discrepancy between Monaco and Johnson is considerable and rather annoying. Has it been like this all weekend, or is today the first time?

The volume difference between commentary vs field noise is terrible.

Yeah, that too. But I think that I could manage that a little better if both of the commentators were the same volume.

ETA - The discrepancy between commentators seems to be getting better just in the past couple of minutes.

Fubo is your TV provider providing the SECN+ license.

No discrepancy now ... they are equally silent.

I have to make sure all my other streaming apps are logged out. Won't play on the ESPN app if anything else is logged in.

EDIT: Looks like jah003 has the same problem I used to have. Here is how to solve it for ROKU:

Some tips in case others have trouble viewing SECN+ and other ESPN content through the app that you should have access to. I used to always run into this with ESPN app on ROKU devices. What I found was it has something to do with the automatic authentication through my cable / internet provider (Xfinity/Comcast). Even though I have access through my subscription, it would tell me "Media Not Allowed" or "Not authorized to view this content" for SECN+ stuff that I just viewed no problem a few days before. Like others have said, it would be a 10 minute ordeal logging in / out / unisntalling the app, etc. and nothing would work. Here is how I got it to work:

1. When authenticating via ESPN.com\activate, your Roku gives you a code to enter, then my Xfinity credentials always automatically authenticated from my phone. Even though it says success, it won't work. You have to remove the credentials from iPhone settings > Tv Provider then do private web browsing option on Safari, THEN go to ESPN.com/activate, enter the code from your Roku, then it should not automatically authenticate. Enter username and password for your TV provider then it works.
2. Sometimes this trick would still not work and I found it is because I was on my home wifi, which it would sometime automatically authenticate, because I have Xfinity Wi-Fi and Xfinity cable so it would sometimes automatically authenticate. You have to fake it out by logging in just through cellular Internet.

My theory is this happens to a lot of people with the ESPN app, it is not just limited to ROKU because the ESPN app authentication uses some kind of Adobe technology to pass the credentials and somehow those are expiring and getting stuck. A fresh login session does not help for some reason, so have to fake it out.

I can login and open the video just fine, but it always buffers every 10 seconds or so. Really pisses me off, because nothing else is slow; Youtube, Rumble, Facebook, etc. And it doesn't matter if it's wifi or mobile data.
